MCM complex component 5 Antibody recognizes MCM5, also known as Minichromosome maintenance complex component 5, a core subunit of the MCM2-7 helicase complex that drives DNA replication initiation and elongation. MCM5 antibody targets a nuclear protein essential for replication licensing, ensuring that genomic DNA is duplicated once per cell cycle. The MCM5 gene encodes a highly conserved ATP-dependent helicase component that participates in origin recognition, pre-replication complex assembly, and replication fork progression.
MCM5 is expressed in proliferating cells and localizes predominantly to the nucleus during G1, S, and G2 phases, where it forms a hexameric ring with MCM2, MCM3, MCM4, MCM6, and MCM7. This complex functions as the replicative helicase that unwinds double-stranded DNA ahead of the replication fork. Because MCM5 is present in cells licensed for replication but absent in quiescent or terminally differentiated cells, MCM complex component 5 Antibody is widely used as a sensitive marker of cell proliferation in both research and diagnostic pathology settings.
Compared with other proliferation markers such as Ki-67, MCM5 may identify a broader population of cells that are competent to enter S phase, including early G1-phase cells. This characteristic makes MCM5 antibody particularly valuable in studies of cell cycle regulation, tumor growth kinetics, and tissue regeneration. Increased nuclear expression of MCM5 has been reported in a wide range of malignancies, including colorectal, breast, lung, and urothelial carcinomas, where it often correlates with high proliferative index and aggressive tumor behavior.
At the molecular level, MCM5 activity is regulated through phosphorylation by cyclin-dependent kinases and DDK complexes, which coordinate helicase activation at replication origins. Dysregulation of MCM5 expression or replication licensing control can contribute to genomic instability, a hallmark of cancer. MCM complex component 5 Antibody provides a reliable tool for evaluating DNA replication competence, cell cycle progression, and proliferative status in normal tissues and neoplastic lesions. Clone MCM5/13320R is designed to detect nuclear MCM5 expression in research applications, supporting studies in oncology, cell biology, and replication stress pathways.
By targeting a fundamental component of the DNA replication machinery, MCM5 antibody enables precise assessment of proliferative activity and replication licensing dynamics across diverse biological systems.
1. Optimal dilution of the MCM complex component 5/MCM5 antibody should be determined by the researcher.
2. This MCM complex component 5/MCM5 antibody is recombinantly produced by expression in CHO cells.
A recombinant fragment (around amino acids 500-734) of human MCM5 protein (exact sequence is proprietary) was used as the immunogen for the MCM complex component 5/MCM5 antibody.
MCM5/Replication licensing factor MCM5 antibody with sodium azide - store at 2 to 8oC; antibody without sodium azide - store at -20 to -80oC.
